Lately it has become fashionable to talk about espionage, the “Kitchen operations” and the sewers of the state … These are dark mechanisms used by those who aspire to a share of power to play each other off against each other.

However, for the working class that rejects power and relations of domination, it does not run through the sewers. The shit circulates in the street, in full view of everyone. The bourgeoisie has no need to hide when it comes to criminalising workers’ self-defence, as it manages everything it needs: workplaces, courts and police.

In many media you can hear about the La Suiza case, most of them saying that six unionists have been sentenced and that justice has been done, that they have been sentenced to three and a half years for crimes of serious coercion and obstruction of justice, but what does this mean? Nothing really and, at the same time, whatever you want it to mean. They are condemning union action and the defence of a woman worker against the abuses of the bosses.

Cause of the conflict

This conflict started in 2017 when the worker of the La Suiza cake shop contacted the CNT Xixón. It seemed like a normal conflict. Claiming some overtime and holidays that she was owed, as well as looking for a dignified exit from the company. The first time we met with the worker, we found a person who was worn down and fearful of returning to her job after maternity leave, all because of endless working hours, the absence of holidays and unbearable treatment with humiliating comments and opinions about her body. A situation that was unacceptable and which, taking courage and with the support of the union, the comrade decided to confront.

Context of the union’s situation in 2017

At that time, the SOV [general union] in Xixón had experienced a large growth, there were several active union conflicts where street action predominated with pickets, placarding, leaflet distribution and dissemination through social networks. In this context, hostilities against the union began to increase, especially on the part of the brigade of information [secret police], which encouraged employers to report our actions, especially those in conflict with the CNT. Many of the active conflicts were in the hotel and catering sector, where jobs are very precarious, union presence was practically non-existent and where abuses were not often confronted, something they could not forgive us for.

Development of the conflict

The first step was to try to contact the employer. This proved impossible. We then tried to talk to the employer at the workplace, but to no avail, as he refused to receive the union with the typical attitude of “no union in my house”. As the company ignored our requests for a meeting, we started to socialise the conflict by taking it to the streets with a first rally on May Day, accompanied by a network campaign.

In the aftermath, the employer agreed to meet with the union in his lawyer’s office, where we presented our demands. There was no agreement of any kind with the company (because we were ETA and because the brigade of information was going to cut us off). Since no agreement was reached, the union action continued. At the next meeting, the identifications began. Already that same day they had filed a complaint against the comrades. The next day, two comrades were arrested and a third one was not, because she was outside Asturias (a curious situation for us, as it seems that if the police are looking for you, it is enough to be outside your home or outside the region). The arrest was completely irregular, with the typical threats at the police station and comments of the type “enough of all that about the CNT and the street”. At the police station itself, when asked about the arrests, they stated that this was not the protocol and that the brigade of information was “going its own way”.

After this, the conflict was rising steadily with weekly rallies with a large participation, some with more than 100 people, where practically all of them were reported to the government delegate’s office and therefore with police presence, it is striking that in rallies where alleged crimes were committed, the police, always present, never intervened. There was also a significant increase in continuous identifications, calls at work by the police to some activists, fines, threats and coercion. Among them, a pamphlet handed out by the employer to the businesses in the area with the photo of a woman worker who showed solidarity with the comrade and on which one could read “watch out for this person, she supports the CNT, who are the ones who attack the businesses in the neighbourhood …”.

The cake shop closes in September, but the conflict remains active due to the complaints filed by the company.

Complaints and trial

At the beginning of the process, they tried to charge more than thirty people, CNT members, members of other unions, neighbours … they even went so far as to report the government delegate for not stopping the CNT’s actions. In the end, eight people were charged, presumably in an attempt to reduce the absurdity of the case and make it more manageable for those who had to judge it.

With the dismissal of the complaint for sexual harassment, which was dismissed because despite the fact that the testimony of the worker was completely plausible, it was considered that there was insufficient burden of proof, and this is what the judgement states, the employer then stepped up and sued the comrade for false denunciation, which was also dismissed, because as stated above, the facts could not be proved, which does not mean that they did not happen.

Following the line of absurdity, our legal team was also reported for the content of the defence briefs, the psychologist who treated our comrade for the content of his reports, and recently our comrade for the content of her statement in the trial …

In 2021, the trial was held where eight comrades were sentenced to three and a half years in prison and a fine of 150,000 euros (a bail of 60,000 euros had already been deposited). After the sentence was passed, a demonstration was held on 10 July with a massive participation of comrades arriving from the Northern, Central and Aragón-Rioja region, as well as numerous local union, cultural and political organisations. This year, 2022, the judgment on the appeal presented the previous year has come out, leaving six people condemned.

For all these reasons, the Xixón union continues to fight, calling for another demonstration on 24 September in Madrid. We call for participation and to support the demonstration to defend what they really want to eradicate, our model of union action.

From CNT Xixón we find it strange how at the entrances to the city there are signs that say “Xixón nun tolerá la violencia machista” (Xixón does not tolerate male violence). What they don’t say is that, when it comes to fighting it, you need a good support network, you need to arm yourself with courage and take the hand of your comrades because, depending on who you are and who you point the finger at, you could be the one who is judged and condemned. In any case, for those who are willing, the CNT will always be there …

Amazon despide a una delegada sindical de Inicjatywa Pracownicza. ¡Haz que Amazon lo pague!
El 9 de noviembre de 2021, Amazon Polonia entregó un aviso de despido a Magda Malinowska, que ha trabajado durante 6 años en su almacén de Sady, cerca de Poznan. Magda era representante sindical e inspectora de salud y seguridad elegida por los miembros del sindicato.  El despido fue aún más grave teniendo en cuenta que se llevó a cabo tras unas reclamaciones del sindicato que fueron presentadas por escrito.  Como inspectora de seguridad e higiene, Magda participó en la investigación de la muerte de uno de sus compañeros, que falleció en su puesto de trabajo en septiembre de 2021.

  • Attack on FAL’s Madrid office!
 
Authoritarians go against anarchist ideas!

Fundación Anselmo Lorenzo (FAL) is a foundation established by CNT to preserve the rich history of the libertarian movement in Spain and to promote anarchist ideas and culture. It has a bookshop, a lecture hall and meeting rooms and a library in downtown Madrid. If you’ve ever been to town, you may have visited, as it’s a well-known reference in libertarian circles nationwide.

This office of FAL has been attacked. Last Monday, we discovered that someone’s authoritarian drive had been busy during the weekend.

Whoever it was, their efforts were focused on rendering the lock unusable and smashing the front glass. They used spray paint, glue and other materials and picks or hammers. This level of preparation shows a great deal of intent. We’d wish that they devoted similar efforts to achieve important goals, like social justice or class solidarity.

Let’s be clear, this is an attack on anarchist ideas carried out in a fascist-like manner. What would be the point, otherwise, in acting against bookshelves and a lecture hall?

Libertarian ideas, books and culture have been attacked. It is obvious that whoever carried this act out are not regulars at our events… if they were, they would have read, listened and debated and would not have allowed themselves to be manipulated into this wanton act.

Needless to say, we condemn this attack. Luckily, only material damage has been inflicted. The Fundacion is open again, though we still have some tidy-up to do.

As usual, as always, we forge ahead with positive, constructive action.

  • ¡Atacada la sede de FAL en Madrid!

¡Agresión autoritaria contra la cultura anarquista!

La Fundación Anselmo Lorenzo (FAL) es una organización dependiente de CNT para la conservación de la rica historia del movimiento libertario y la divulgación del pensamiento, la cultura y las ideas anarquistas. Cuenta con una librería, salón de actos, salas de reuniones y biblioteca en el centro de Madrid. Es probable que la conozcas, si alguna vez has visitado la ciudad, porque es un referente en el panorama libertario peninsular.

Pues bien, esta sede de la Fundación Anselmo Lorenzo ha sido atacada. El pasado lunes nos encontramos con que el ánimo destructivo de alguien estuvo muy activo el fin de semana.

Volcaron sus esfuerzos en romper la cerradura y destruir el cristal de la fachada con pintura y picos, lo que demuestra que se habían preparado. Ojalá se preparasen igual para luchar por cosas importantes como la justicia social o la solidaridad.

Un ataque a la Cultura Libertaria con maneras que son propias de fascistas, pero que parecen proliferar. ¿Qué sentido puede tener atacar un lugar presidido por estanterías con libros y espacios de difusión, si no es así?

Un ataque a la Cultura, al mundo de los libros y del pensamiento libertario. Está claro que quienes han llevado el ataque no pueden ser personas ‘asiduas’ de la Fundación… habrían leído, escuchado y discutido, y no se dejarían manipular por esa violencia sin sentido.

Por supuesto, condenamos la acción y sus consecuencias, afortunadamente solo materiales. Y ya volvemos a estar en marcha, arreglándolo todo… ya sabéis, la obra siempre constructiva.

  • Comunicado de prensa del sindicato FAU: delegación de paz retenida en el hotel, acto prohibido

[14 de junio, 10 a.m., Erbil] Todos los integrantes de la delegación de paz al norte de Irak se encuentran detenidos hoy en su hotel para impedir la celebración de un acto y una rueda de prensa frente a la oficina de la misión de la ONU en Erbil, algo a lo que ayer se había comprometido un representante del gobierno de la región.

Aproximadamente 30 peshmergas, armados con fusiles de asalto, custodian a las 60 personas que integran la delegación. Ayer mismo, la delegación se reunió con el ministro de Exteriores del Gobierno de la Región Autónoma del Kurdistán Iraquí (PDK), quien empeñó su palabra en que se permitiría la realización del acto. De momento, parece que la detención no es estricta, pero se han prohibido todos los actos públicos. Otros delegados se encuentran custodiados en este momento.

Wolf Meyer, integrante del secretariado internacional de FAU: “estas actuaciones del gobierno del Kurdistán Iraquí son indignas de unas relaciones internacionales oficiales y recuerdan, no a una democracia, sino a la dictadura que se vive en Turquía. Se nos arresta, deporta y detiene con al apoyo y la complicidad del Gobierno alemán. Exigimos la puesta en libertad inmediata de todas las personas prisioneras, que se respete el derecho a manifestarse y que se honren los acuerdos y la palabra dada. Pedimos a todos los sindicatos de base que alcen su voz con determinación frente a la situación que se vive ahora mismo en Erbil”.

  • [June 14, 10 a.m., Erbil] The entire peace delegation in northern Iraq is being held in its hotel today to prevent a rally and press conference in front of the UN representation in Erbil, which was promised yesterday by a government representative.

About 30 Peshmerga with assault rifles are keeping the 60-strong peace delegation in northern Iraq in their hotel. Only yesterday, the delegation met with the foreign minister of the Autonomous Iraqi Kurdistan Region (PDK) who promised the rally could take place. Currently, the detention seems to be relaxed, but all demonstrations are still banned. Other delegates are currently in custody.

Wolf Meyer, member of the international committee of the FAU: “The current actions of the government of the Iraqi Kurdistan are unworthy of official international relations and are reminiscent not of a civil democracy but of a Turkish dictatorship. We are being arrested, deported, detained – with support and acquiescence of the German government. We demand all prisoners be released, the right to demonstrate and that joint agreements be respected. We ask all trade unions to find clear words for the current situation in Erbil.”

  • Delegation of the FAU in Northern Iraq

On the road against war and for internationalism in action!
The Free Workers Union is currently participating in a large international delegation in the Autonomous Region of Kurdistan (Northern Iraq). The reason for this is the ongoing human rights crimes, military actions and provocations on the part of the Turkish government and the Barzani regime¹, which is close to the Turkish government, as well as the worsening working and living conditions for the workers of the region.

As an internationalist labour union federation, we stand with the workers and peasants all over the world against the Turkish dictatorship, which is covering the whole region of the so-called Middle East with war, destruction of nature and political oppression.

Background

The Turkish regime under dictator Recep Tayyip Erdoğan pursues a policy of annexation and ethnic cleansing². The biggest counterweight against this racist war policy is the communalist movement³. This movement is organized in Turkey, Syria and Iraq and is mainly supported by Kurds, but also Yezidis, Arabs, Turkmens, Assyrians and members of many other communities as a multi-ethnic project.

In Iraq, Turkey is currently attempting to take control of the retreat areas of communalist organizations, as well as border areas with the communalist-administered region of northern and eastern Syria (also known as Rojava). Thus, it regularly carries out bombardments on Iraqi territory against alleged or actual revolutionaries. Furthermore, the Barzani clan and the Turkish state are expanding their military presence in these areas. In recent months, over 40 military bases have been established and thousands of soldiers have been deployed to the region.

With the current attacks and air strikes, Turkey is trying to provoke an intra-Kurdish war between communalists and the Barzani regime, which is economically dependent on Turkey. This tactic aims to weaken Kurdish resistance to Turkey, cut off supply routes to northeastern Syria, and legitimize a Turkish occupation of parts of Iraq.

  • Delegación de FAU en el norte de Irak

¡En marcha contra la guerra y por el internacionalismo en acción!

FAU (Sindicato de Trabajadores y Trabajadoras Libres) participa actualmente en una gran delegación internacional a la Región Autónoma del Kurdistán (Norte de Irak). El motivo de esta es oponerse a las incesantes violaciones de los derechos humanos, las ofensivas militares y las provocaciones por parte del gobierno turco y del régimen de Barzani¹, muy próximo a aquel, así como al deterioro de las condiciones laborales y vitales de las personas trabajadoras en la región.

Como federación sindical internacionalista que es FAU, estaremos siempre junto a trabajadores y trabajadoras, campesinos y campesinas de todo el mundo, contra la dictadura turca, que siembra la guerra, la destrucción del medio ambiente y la opresión política en todo el ámbito de la región denominada Oriente Medio.

Antecedentes

El régimen turco del dictador Recep Tayyip Erdoğan lleva a cabo una política de anexión y limpieza étnica². El mayor obstáculo frente a esta expansión de la guerra racista es el movimiento del confederalismo democrático³. Este se encuentra organizado en Turquía, Siria e Irak y recibe el apoyo, principalmente, de la población kurda, pero también yazidí, árabe, turcomana, asiria y de integrantes de muchas otras comunidades, porque se trata de un proyecto multiétnico.

En Irak, el gobierno turco pretende actualmente hacerse con el control de las zonas en que se refugian las organizaciones del confederalismo democrático, así como de las regiones fronterizas con la parte del norte y el este de Siria en las que está implantado este proyecto (también conocida como Rojava). Por este motivo, bombardea de manera regular el territorio iraquí, para atacar a revolucionarios imaginados o reales. Además, el clan Barzani y el estado turco están ampliando su presencia militar en estas zonas. En los últimos meses, han establecido más de 40 bases militares y han desplegado miles de soldados en la región.
